Kia's all-new Sportage crossover will cost 20,777 when it goes on sale on August 1.

First Edition trimThe first 800 cars will be in exclusive 'First Edition' trim. They will be powered by a 134bhp 2.0-litre diesel engine linked to a six-speed manual gearbox, and come with four-wheel drive as standard.

A six-speed automatic gearbox is available as an option, along with a choice of five exterior paint colours.

Competitively pricedThe Sportage First Edition will be 1200 cheaper than the entry-level Ford Kuga and comparable VW Tiguan, while the equivalent Nissan Qashqai is 2718 more expensive at 23,495.

The full Sportage range will go on sale in November. It will include 1.6-litre petrol and 1.7-litre diesel engines, both with stop-start systems to improve fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions. Front-wheel-drive versions will also be available. Prices for the full range have yet to be confirmed.
